  Shanghai 1927. Pearl of the East or Whore of the Orient? Depends on who you ask. It's a cesspool of poverty, thronged with refugees, gripped by civil war. But for some it's still a fever dream: jazz clubs, film stars, and opium dens, celebrities and spies, easy money and easier women. 
   
   
   
  The son of a rural Irish cop, Michael Gallagher has joined the Shanghai Municipal Police to escape an Ireland crippled by its recent bitter independence fight and escape a personal tragedy. 
   
   
   
  Michael encounters Shanghai's biggest philanthropist, a man called Big Ears Lu—who is also its creepiest racketeer. He falls for the beautiful courtesan Miriam Tsai. 
   
   
   
  But does Michael's collusion with Lu keep Miriam trapped in the House of Multiple Joys? 
   
   
   
  Shanghai in 1927 is a city where after dark anything seems possible. A city where anyone can be crushed, and anyone corrupted. Even an innocent Irish cop. 
   
   
   
  From the wreckage of guerrilla war in Ireland to the dawn of world war in Asia, Gangsters of Shanghai seethes with twentieth century turbulence and temptation. 
   
   
   
  Can Mike Gallagher remain uncorrupted, and escape the imploding city with his life and his self-respect?

  If someone had asked Sherlock Holmes later in the year, there is little doubt that he would have said his life began that spring day in 1871 when he met Violet Rushdale upon the moors and ended in the winter some months distant. His mother would have disputed the former claim, and many, both friend and foe, would come to deny the latter. Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become. It is well known that the toughest steel that makes the sharpest swords must be plunged into the fire, then beaten and reshaped. So it is as well with the best and wisest of men. 
  The Crack in the Lens tells the tale of how and WHY a young Sherlock Holmes forged himself into the Great Detective.
